Those temps will rise to about 11 degrees by the afternoon, but it will still feel around minus-10 degrees with wind gusts around 25 mph.

Thursday night will see temperatures drop to about 5 degrees, but the dangerous wind chills will remain.

Such low wind chills throughout the day means frostbite can form on skin exposed to the cold for as little as 15 to 30 minutes.

While the numbers weren’t as low as some of the temperatures the area got earlier this month, several local districts cancelled school in part over concerns of students standing at or walking to the bus stop.

FEMA has released a number or tips on how to handle the extreme cold. Here’s what they say to do:

*Winterize your home to extend the life of your fuel supply by insulating walls and attics, caulking and weather-stripping doors and windows, and installing storm windows or covering windows with plastic.

*Insulate pipes with insulation or newspapers and plastic and allow faucets to drip a little during cold weather to avoid freezing. Running water, even at a trickle, helps prevent pipes from freezing.

Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack—a major cause of death in the winter. If you must shovel snow, stretch before going outside.

Keep fire extinguishers on hand, and make sure everyone in your house knows how to use them. House fires pose an additional risk, as more people turn to alternative heating sources without taking the necessary safety precautions.
